The RF Assure Detection System uses radio-frequency detection to help identify and prevent potential retained surgical items. UNC Hospitals is using the system in addition to AORN’s standard protocol of manual counting.
“While manual counting by operating room personnel is the standard-of-care in preventing RSI, adjunctive technology is an important added security to further improve patient safety,” said Dr. Jeffrey Port, co-founder and chairman of RF Surgical, in the release. “The RF Assure System represents the cutting-edge in detection of surgical sponges and is an important tool for reducing the incidence of RSI to zero.”
